Overview
Brief information on the degree course
The high-technology sector of space travel with its extreme demands on materials and techniques requires an interdisciplinary approach involving mathematics, informatics, natural sciences and engineering in order to achieve the highest goals, such as a manned mission to Mars or the further development of the commercially used satellite network. Training specialists in space travel applications with a broad knowledge of the fundamental sciences is the goal of the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree course “Physics and Technology of Space Travel Applications” introduced in Winter Semester 2017/18 and of the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree course to begin in Winter Semester 2020/21. Both degree courses are situated between physics and electrical engineering and are taught in conjunction with the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen- University of Applied Sciences.
As a student in this programme, you will gain
- advanced knowledge of content and methods through an interdisciplinary training in the two main subjects of physics and electrical engineering;
- specialised knowledge enabling you to independently identify current problems and find solutions in physico-engineering technologies in the field of space travel, e.g. on satellites;
- advanced theoretical and/or practical knowledge in elective subjects;
- additional skills enabling you to prepare for career opportunities in the interdisciplinary field of space travel
